Chapter 687: Familiar Feeling

I clapped my hands, and Penny vanished as I looked up into the sky of my astral island at the massive black hole in the sky that was surrounded by red cracks of chaotic energy. I raised my hands and tried to will the hole closed, but nothing that I tried was working.

The black hole pulsated with malevolent energy, sending shivers down my spine. This wasn't just a breach; it was a full-on invasion. I could feel the oppressive presence of the Blood Witches, their power seeping through the cracks, but I couldn't see anyone yet.

"Ophiuchus!" Leo's voice echoed again, filled with fury and desperation. "We have come to take this world from you!!"

Before I could respond, a dark figure emerged from the black hole, draped in flowing crimson robes. It wasn't Leo, but a woman that I didn't recognize, but felt like I knew her from somewhere. Her eyes glowed with an eerie light, and her smile was filled with malevolent glee.
